May be mixing it up with another book, but my strongest memory of A Kestrel For A Knave was my 3rd year primary teacher having carefully crossed out and replaced the line "Piss off!" with "Go away!" in fountain pen. (Leaving the original totally legible.)

Next strongest memory was of course the misery. :smith:

It's an awful book and the assholes who put it on our syllabus were probably all wankers living up in Darras Hall who thought it uncovered a profound despair that frankly we didn't need reminding of and they'd never be affected by.

gently caress Kes and gently caress anyone who says it's an important book.

The largest pure Trot group in the US, the International Socialist Organization, collapsed literally overnight last spring because members found out the central committee had covered up serial rape by one of its star members and fundraisers.

Possibly the best argument against organizational structures that focus on individual celebrity is that they inevitably turn out to be nonces and then the organization becomes centered around covering it up.

I'm honestly surprised there hasn't been some concerted push to "Well actually" on noncing. Every fucker in any kind of power seems to either do it or be complicit, from governments to business to media to college loving football.

loving Trots man. I was telling my mam about Gerry Healy & the WRP recently, and how so many Trot parties end up going the way of creepy religious cults.

Democratic centralism is really good for horrible creeps and bad for actual democracy.

I think there are at least two, possibly three splinter WRPs now lol

I wonder if it's starting to dawn on people that now Boris is in charge of the Tories, the choice really is between Corbyn and No Deal.

He's positioned himself so well, it's genuinely admirable.

Maybe it's because the people well connected enough to make that push happen are well connected enough to flat out get away with it.

Okay, since you asked for it

I have been watching lots of Japanese wrestling lately. It's good wholesome fun where lads drop each other on their noggins and pummel the poo poo out of each others chests. Or small guys do flippydo stuff. Either way it's good & I recommend it.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-britain-eu-johnson-idUSKCN1V70L7

quote:

LONDON (Reuters) - Prime Minister Boris Johnson will tell French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel that the Westminster parliament cannot stop Brexit and a new deal must be agreed if Britain is to avoid leaving the EU without one.

In his first trip abroad as leader, Johnson is due to meet his European counterparts ahead of a G7 summit on Aug. 24-26 in Biarritz, France.

He will say that Britain is leaving the European Union on Oct. 31, with or without a deal, and that the British parliament cannot block that, according to a Downing Street source.

To make it better, here's Black Metal Cat (I think I posted it before but I can't remember)

General election, renegotiate deal likely including four freedoms, referendum between it and remain, most probably.

Get an extension and then go for a General Election.

Literally nothing else outside of those two things.

E: If he wins obviously then it's re-negotiate a deal on terms which aren't complete dogshit and then do a referendum on the deal.

E: E: gently caress.
